I've got death inside me. It's just a question of whether or not I can outlive it.
Don DeLillo
His stillness was commanding. I felt myself getting whiter by the second. What does it mean to become white? How does it feel to see Death in the flesh, come to gather you in?

So much remained. Every word and thing a beadwork of bright creation.
Don DeLillo
